This is the name of the fibrous sac that surrounds the heart.
Pericardium
A low resting heart rate (<60 bpm) is also called this.

Lymphatic vessels are most similar to this type of blood vessel.
Vein
This valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle

Longer
This condition is a hereditary condition that leads to an absence in one or many clotting factors.
Hemophilia
____________ is the name for the amount of blood ejected from the heart with each ventricular contraction.
